Jerry Butler (born Jerry Butler Jr., December 8, 1939, Sunflower, Mississippi) is an American soul singer and songwriter. He is also noted as being the original lead singer of the R&B vocal group, The Impressions, as well as a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Butler is also an American politician. He serves as a Commissioner for Cook County, Illinois, having first been elected in 1985. As a member of this 17-member county board, he chairs the Health and Hospitals Committee, and serves as Vice Chair of the Construction Committee. The mid 1950s had a profound impact on Butler's life. He grew up poor, having lived in Chicago's Cabrini Green housing complex. Music and the church provided solace from a city that was as segregated as those in the Deep South.[citation needed] He performed in a church choir with Curtis Mayfield. As a teenager, Butler sang in a gospel quartet called Northern Jubilee Gospel Singers, along with Mayfield. Mayfield, a guitar player, became the lone instrumentalist for the six-member Roosters group, which later became The Impressions. Inspired by Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers, the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, and the Pilgrim Travelers, getting into the music industry seemed inevitable. Butler's younger brother, Billy Butler, also had a career in the music industry. Butler wrote the song "For Your Precious Love" (which is ranked #327 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time) and wanted to record a disc.

"Make It Easy On Yourself" was one of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's earliest compositions as a songwriting team, and although they first had Dionne Warwick record the song, the record company decided not to release it. Dionne's demo was played for Jerry Butler who was now separated from The Impressions and going solo. He immediately flew to New York to record the song with exactly the same arrangement with Bacharach and David. This chain of events miffed Dionne Warwick who was consoled by Burt Bacharach and Hal David with the promise of a song of equal quality for her. Dionne's angry response to them, "Don't make me over, man", ended up being the inspiration for her first hit recording ("Don't Make Me Over"). Jerry Butler's "Make It Easy On Yourself" peaked at #20 during the summer of 1962.. + Informações
